### Bug description

We are using Version 3.16.6 and have been experiencing this issue for a while now.(3.14.3 was fine)

The Finder extension of Nextcloud has a problem when displaying and editing the password during the creation of a public link. If you use the automatically generated password, it is displayed correctly. However, once you click into the password field to change it or enter your own password, the field collapses and the password is no longer visible.

Although it is still possible to enter or change the password, you cannot see what you are typing. This can lead to accidentally adding a space or making a typing error without realizing it.

### Steps to reproduce

1. Install Macos (silicon) Nextcloud client version 3.14.4 or higher, better 3.16.6
2. In Finder
3. Click on Share Options
4. public link
5. create a new link and try to change the password

### Expected behavior

To See the password while changing it or try to copy it.
